On Monday night I picked up my new (Old) truck.
it is a Hino FD Ranger.
It has been sitting for about 4 years after previous owner passed away.
He was a buggy and Speedway racer, and by good fortune he was a Valiant tragic at Speedway, I had actually bought a car he was building as a replacement for his old car.
Here is the truck at home with the speedway build on the back.
It started straight away with jumper leads and I drove it home.
When I got home I noticed a small water leak under the engine.
A quick look I could see it was coming from water gallery plate behind the injection pump, So I got stuck in and removed the plate.
Here is the hole.
New plates are still available and one is in an airbag to me and due to arrive today.
I also have an A/C kit on the way, so will make mounts for the compressor and adjuster this weekend and my Auto Gas mate has said he will fit the rest, make the pipes and gas it up for me.
Once it is mobile I will also grab 5 sheets of checker plate and replace the rotted wooden floor.
